Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Throughout history, generations have been defined by the advent of technology. From the transistor
and the personal computer to the Internet and the iPhone, innovation and invention have served as driving
forces that inform generational identity.
In today's rapidly evolving digital world, that identity is apparent in the way different generations use
the Internet, the way they value its importance, and the overall role digital experiences play in their lives. For
example, a Baby Boomer born in the 1950s will experience the Internet and the wider digital-world differently
than a Millennial born in the 1980s - they have different levels of fumilincity with the web, and it's played a
vastly different role in each of their lives.
But one generation trumps them all when it comes to both digital fluency and dependency: Gen Z - the
generation born between 1996 and 2015. With more than one-third of the world's population counting
themselves Gen Zers. Gen Z will soon surpass Millennials as the most populous generation on earth.
This generation has never known a world without the Internet, they expect the Internet will determine
what they do on a daily basis within the next five years, and in many ways, they're at the leading edge of
shaping its future. In many ways, Gen Z was already living in a digital-first world, the rest of us have simply
been forced to catch up. Now, Gen Z sees the online experience as more than just a convenient option; digital
has been tested and vindicated as the best way forward for everything from buying groceries to making new
friends. This huge contrast between the generations is a testament to the overlap Gen Z sees between the digital
and physical worlds, which they view as one. Other generations are more likely to "sign-off” or even prefer
time away from their screens, while Gen Z is online throughout the day.
Gen Z is not interested in turning back or slowing down. This is a generation on the move, with distinct
preferences for the future. Wondering how to speak to Gen Z? Personalization, entertainment, and
engagement. If you're not providing them with entertaining, engaging digital experiences, someone else most
certainly is - the endless amount of choice available online is not lost on this generation.
